Chapter 1238 - 1237: Rescuing People from the Dungeon
Amid the clamor of the crowd, a senior official directly said, "Why go there? Can Su Yang even save those people in the dungeon? He’s clearly luring the tiger away from the mountain, deliberately running into the dungeon to draw us there. This man is fighting with the resolve to die; should we really march to our deaths?"
With these words, everyone immediately halted. Indeed, Su Yang couldn’t possibly save the people in the dungeon; his going there was meaningless, and it certainly must be a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
At this point, if everyone ran to the dungeon, it really would be like delivering themselves to death, providing Su Yang with the opportunity to kill them!
Elder Jiu looked worried and said in a low voice, "Then...shouldn’t we at least send a few people to check?"
The senior official glanced at Elder Jiu. Though he was known as an elder, he did not hold a high status within the family, almost on par with Chen Benhao, belonging to the type with strength but not favored in the family. Otherwise, he would not have been assigned to watch over the dungeon in the backyard. As such, Elder Jiu’s influence in the family had always been weak.
"Elder Jiu, if you want to take a look, go by yourself!" the senior official said sternly, "Our main goal tonight is to deal with Su Yang. Another goal is to protect our Chen Family members and minimize our losses. I hope everyone can understand the current situation and not recklessly take risks, which goes against our objectives!"
The crowd nodded in agreement, and Elder Jiu sighed. With little influence in the family, there was no point in him continuing the argument.
Of course, he wouldn’t go to the backyard himself; not favored in the family, he certainly wouldn’t risk his life for these matters. His job was just to remind everyone; now that he had been overruled, it no longer had anything to do with him.
Under these circumstances, Su Yang entered the Chen Family dungeon without any resistance. The few guards stationed there were quite weak, and they didn’t even notice Su Yang’s entry before they were instantly killed.
